GENERAL REMARKS 

)N building the Gillette houses we wish to caution 
against changes. We do not believe it wise to change 
one single thing. The drawings show only the frame 
where spaces are not marked. Openings : — All doors 
or windows must fit tight. 

We wish to call attention to the north side, 
which must be tight. 

A piece of roofing paper should be nailed under eaves, coming 
down about three inches on all sides. This is important. 

Floors are a matter of choice, also dropping boards and roosts, 
which are not shown in drawings. 

The Gillette Continuous house is built by placing the Colony 
houses twenty feet apart, in a straight line, and the same heighth from 
the ground if possible, connecting them on the north side with a tight 
board wall the same height as the Colony houses at eaves, and a two- 
foot board wall with wire above on the south side. This makes a sun 
parlor between the houses. Make a concrete fioor, starting on the 
north side, one inch above bottom of board wall with a pitch of three 
inches toward the south wall. This brings the floor three inches below 
bottom of board wall on the south side and takes care of all water. 
Use four to five inches of sand on concrete. On this throw your 
litter, using sand or gravel inside of house. You will be surprised 
with results if you follow these directions. The birds do not need any 
yards if kept for eggs only. The concrete floor prevents contamination 
and is a necessity. 

In building the Gillette open front brooder house be sure to have 
windows on north side tight. In building for pipe systems simply add 
nine feet to the length of the building, cutting doors into pit and feed 
room as shown in drawing. Do not leave petitions out. Use moisture 
in alley-way with all brooders. This is a necessity.
